[Elecraft] KX3 on SSB Mobile

[John K7JLT]

I use my KX3/KXPA100 combination mobile in two different cars and suggest the following:
1. Direct DC to the battery with both sides fused at 30 Amps.
2. Have found my old Hustler to be very inefficient. Have tried several other antennas but use a budipole dipole from a fixed most of the time when I want to maximize my signal.
3. For the microphone I have found Elecraft's H3 hand microphone to get good audio reports when adjusted per Elecrafts instructions.
4. One last thing use Cat 5 or 6 shielded cable for the control cable between the KX3 and the amp grounded only at the amp to avoid problems.
